iron tablets

[Loula]

Ive only been taking them since tuesday and already theyve had effect.
My bowel movements have been more specially today its that dark colour, i know im not the first person to have this, anymore symptoms to expect? x

 

[tabbi]

your poo will end up black and harder to pass hun x x x

 

[Levi89]

Yeah wss ^^ mines is pure black, I struggle to poo and they are making me sick to!

On the up side I feel like I can muster a little more energy - but that could all be in my head!! Haha xxx

 

[tabbi]

yeah that tends to happen, best thing eat alot more foods with green colours like your veg. and liver is good for you as long as you only eat a babies portion once a month x

 

[VikkiR]

Yep constipation, try lactulose and or ask for iron in liquid form, it's kinder on your guts x

 

[BUGGY82]

I'm taking them too & although I have the black poo they're still easy to pass ( for now anyway)
My problem is they aren't working & I keep nearly fainting!

 

[Loula]

yeah defo got the black poo and i was already constipated and nothing worked so i look forward to that.
eww i hate greens lol x

 

[nikkie88]

Yup, all the above, and i suffered little headaches caused by constipation.

have fun! x

 

[tabbi]

right then try spatone i got told to take it as it doesn't make ur poo harder or black. x x x

 

[Loula]

whatas spatone? x

 

[tabbi]

its an iron supplement, you get it anywhere its bright orange. its a liquid and your meant to diluet with juice its miles better than tablets, as you only need have one a day and they bring your iron up, if need be ask your MW about them x x x
